Sony Reviews, Ratings, and Pricing

Multinational electronics and entertainment titan Sony (NYSE: SNE) produces and sells consumer electronics, notebooks, telephones, and many other electronic devices and software. Founded in 1946 by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, the company, which is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, derives its name from "sonus," the Latin word for sound. Sony employs approximately 168,000 people worldwide.

Among the thinnest, lightest full-size Android slates to date, the Z2 is fast, packs a great display, and is both attractive and durable. It's premium in every sense, competitive with Samsung's and Apple's best.

Reviews: Sony Laptops

The Sony VAIO Flip 13 is arguably the most cleverly designed of a clever lot of convertible laptops. It isn't terribly fast or terribly cheap, but if you can't decide between an ultrabook and a tablet, now you don't have to.

Sony outdoes its own Duo slider with perhaps the best laptop/tablet hybrid design we've seen, but the smaller and lighter Flip 13 and 14 are probably better examples than this 15.5-inch, 5.1-pound configuration.

If you're looking for a slider-style Windows 8 laptop/tablet hybrid, the VAIO Duo 13 is the best we've seen, thanks to an improved design and a new Intel "Haswell" CPU. But the keyboard still isn't comfortable, and the touch pad is tiny.

A few minor design issues aside, Sony's VAIO Pro 13 is an excellent ultrabook that's extremely light and quite long-lasting. If you don't mind its high price, it's a great travel-friendly PC for productivity and entertainment.

Reviews: Sony Desktops

If you're looking for an attractive all-in-one that also does double duty as a semi-portable tablet for the couch or kitchen, Sony's Tap 21 is one of the nicest models we've seen. Just don't expect long battery life.

If you are willing to trade some raw performance for versatility (and your living space is at a premium), the Sony VAIO L Series will be a good fit. This 24-inch all-in-one delivers a very capable PC and a fully functional stand-alone HDTV in a single machine.
